chapter 4

If he really was crazy, kai had to congratulate his subconscious, the story was increasingly intricate and difficult to predict, in the hidden room there was only one passageway with stairs that went down to the depths of the mountain, lit only by a kai candle low by The stairs of what could be said that each step was carved in stone and were not smooth you could feel the imperfections caused by the blows of the hammers each step was done by hand, it would take years to complete the whole route.

Kai came to the center and all the hall that lit up, the candlelight reflected the columns and the ceiling, the rock was covered in glass giving it the appearance of a rough diamond.

In the center of the room was a huge stone box, the whole room was covered with strange carved symbols that glowed mysteriously with the light reflected in them, if you looked from above, you would notice that the whole room was a huge formation of symbols and the stone box was the center of the formation, kai came in front of the box and pushed the lid, the box did not move even an inch.

When kai touched the lid of the box I notice the carved symbols covered by years of dust

"Ffuuuu" blew dust and revealed the same symbol that was in the hidden door

Kai placed the ring in the center, the light shine and after a second.

"Click" the formations is deactivated.

There were several things inside the box; A stone book, a bamboo bottle, a bone knife and hundreds of coins. There were 2 types of coins some so white as ivory and others as black as coal.

The following day Kai made a plan how to prepare for the war  used the gold bars and hired a mercenary to train him, bought weapons to the Mafia, prepared provisions and several safe points around the city, had 7 months to prepare himself.

Step 8 hours a day in training, firearms, assassination techniques, hand-to-hand combat, strategies all necessary to survive different martial arts and first aid, at night translated the stone book. Each page was made of a thin carved rock and there were some that were of animal leather, kai only could translate first pages that were in Latin but the rest were in some unknown language.

Kai  hope day by day, month by month, every day a little closer to the catastrophe I use every moment to sharpen their skills, kai did not want to be a fighter or a survivor he wanted to be a warrior who had enough power to make a difference, he wanted to be remembered. He buy enough weapons, ammunition, and provisions for a small army; guns, shotguns, machine guns, rifles, anti-armor rifles, grenades, explosives, rpg, claymore, even got a minigun and AT-4 anti-tank rocket launcher.

He also hired a group of hackers to spread the news of the end of the world, newspapers, radio, television, internet and banners but was taken as cyberterrorism or a heavy joke no one took it seriously,  until only remained one flower of blood with 6 red petals.

On the sixth day there was a tsunami in the pacific that erased several islands, several tornadoes struck the coast of america and in Europe the Vesuvius Mount eruption for the second time.

The fifth day africa was hit by a snowstorm, a strange disease spread through Asia and South America causing millions of people to fall into a coma.

On the fourth day the earth became silent, the electromagnetic field of the earth underwent an inexplicable alteration that interrupted all communications was a terrible blow to the world economy.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

On the third day the moon disappeared, literally disappeared from space, as if it were erased from the sky for 24 hours, the moon ceased to exist. After the third day nobody took as a joke the messages left by the group of hackers in addition thousands of psychics, monks, religious or people with supernatural abilities had a terrible nightmare of strange creatures that invade the earth, many of them did not wake up, there were even some dead but they all had something in common they saw a flower of blood floating in the sky with 2 red petals and a voice with a message that turned cold hearts.

"Human Wake up the war is coming"

After the message, the air began to feel strange, the tension could be felt in the atmosphere a bad feeling generalized invaded the hearts of the people.

The second day appeared a second moon suspended in the sky, was violet, that was a decisive blow to the psyche of many, there were panic, paranoia, revolts and protests in many parts of the world politicians, officials, wealthy businessmen and military locked to themselves in bunkers, safe houses and fortresses.

The final day ... nothing happened, there was no strange or inexplicable phenomenon, at first glance it was just another normal day, but what people did not know was that if something happened, a strange particle mingled with the air affecting the crops of grains and vegetables worldwide, to avoid panic the authorities hid the information but according to scientists if they did not find a solution the world would starve in the next 6 months.

And so day 0 arrived.

During the last 6 days kai did not pay much attention to what was happening to the world, he locked himself in the stone room that was now converted into a deposit of weapons and provisions, working on translating the stone book but could only translate Latin and he record the rest of the symbols in his mind, apart from that he sank into training and preparation. The fact is that Kai was very nervous and anxious, day 0 would decide if he was really crazy, had always had that little voice in his conscience that said that none of this was real after all ... a war between the world was too unreal .

The only way to ignore that inner voice was to keep busy with training, translation, and watching television, not was the type of person that  see programs or believing what newspapers or journalists said, but he needing to stay distracted.

"This is incredible ..." he murmured

When he saw the summary of what happened in the world the last few days was very surprised, the 'diary of the dream' did not mention how the fusion began only spoke about the war, on TV everyone had different crazy theories; Invasion of aliens, a government experiment, dimensional collapse, caused by pollution even came a Tibetan monk who said they would invade a colony of giant insects ... that was not far.

Something that kai knew that no one else knew and that everyone forgot was something very important, originally there were 12 flowers after falling all the petals took 12 more hours for the center of the flower to disappear, that would be day 0 12 hours later, in summary 12 am on day 0.

Suddenly he was struck by a sense of doubt ... and if it is real ... and if I die.

If the war was real and exploded that day could well die in an instant, an accidental shot, crushed, a car crash, the chances of dying in the first encounter was very high and if he died in an instant ... would not be a ' Man without a name ?' All his efforts and research would go to hell, if he was lucky someone would find his diary and take all the credit in the world of research it was not unusual to steal the work of others, kai wanted was to be remembered even if it were by A single person wanted to be remembered and recognized.

That someone knew that he existed and that they recognized all the effort he made during his short life, that they said "This guy was brave" or "he did a great job on behalf of humanity" something like …

spent the last night scanning the diary of dreams, the stone book and writing down several conjectures, after copying them sent to different professors, military and journalists along with his real name, did not put the story of his life did not want to feel sorry He wanted them to see the investigation and be impressed.

Now only one thing was missing ... the stage, if he was not crazy he wanted the world to listen to him and if he was crazy he would make the world remember him even if he was like a villain or a murderer. He picked up his basic equipment and went to the most important square in the city and  hope,  tolerate the looks and whispers of mockery but in his mind he made a list of the faces of these people, if in truth he was crazy they would be the first ones he would look by revenge

And when the clock struck 12 am, it all started.
